Years at Loyola: I have been in my current position for two years and worked in Government & Community Relations for several years in the 90’s. In between, I was an adjunct instructor for the Institute for Paralegal Studies.
What is your favorite thing about working at Loyola?
The people are wonderful, and it is a very supportive work environment.
What is your most memorable achievement as a Loyola employee?
The opportunity to see my students grow from tentative new students to confident professionals.
What does Loyola's mission mean to you?
It means that we care about the whole student and not just the bottom line. It’s part of my job to help students find their own path and where they can be successful and achieve their goals.
Tell us something most people at Loyola would be surprised to know about you.
Both of my parents are Irish immigrants, and I am a first generation college student. My parents didn’t always understand the details of college, but they were very supportive and worked hard to see all five of us earn degrees.
